Looking for advice: I am a newbie to the REI world.

Welcome to the wonderful world of investing.

Look up Window World.

I'd love to chat more about about the awesome world of real estate with you!

what in the world are you waiting on, buy those homes and get to work, you will do really welljust be sure you can pay a little lot rent if the tenants hv to leave or you evictgood luck

In a previous life I did do some business with people in the Vending Machine World.  

Bringing this topic up with hopes that people with more insight could pitch in and provide insight or personal opinions/experiences from all parts of US or even the world.

New entrants to the landlording world will likely be most affected due both to learning curve and cost basis.Since you are in Kitsap CO,  Bremerton is probably your best market for investment real estate;  there are usually several small rental complexes available over there an any given time;   its certainly on my radar  (as while I'm in seattle,  I will no longer invest in seattle) but there are also other secondary/tertiary markets that might be worth looking at;  just make sure that the area has a decent economic situation,  and/or the property you invest in is substantially more desirable that most of its competitive segment is so that if things soften up economically,  you are still holding a property people will want to live in if they have lots of options.There are also other types of RE investing - commercial, out of state, flipping,  etc which depending on you and your husbands interests, skill set, and risk tolerance could be worth looking at. 

You need to get some more experience before you start dabbling in the world of creative finance.Good luck.

Hello I am new to the real estate and house flipping world and just was wondering if there was any tips/advice for a newbie.
